Quantum-aware engineer
Quantum technologies are becoming more intertwined with engineering, and the need for engineers who are 'aware' of quantum technologies is becoming a challenge. Currently, around the globe, a limited number of quantum engineering programs aiming to raise quantum engineers at the Master's or PhD levels are meeting the needs of start-ups or the industry dealing with building quantum computers or developing quantum technologies. However, once a fully-operational quantum computer, which is much more powerful than a classical computer, is available, engineers and many end-users will face a new computing and programming paradigm. We aim to meet students, educators, industry experts and quantum-technology scientists and discuss and develop a consensus on the education plan for quantum-aware engineers at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Decent Work & Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure and Quality Education are the SDGs directly related to the goals of our community.
